BOX 666 · MISSOURI C 'Y, TEXAS 77459 · 281-2614260 <br /> <br />OCT 1 ~.wOR <br />Allen Owen <br />CITY SECRETARY'S <br />OFFICE <br /> <br />. Mayor Norman Malone <br />P.O. Box 1115 <br />La Porte, TX 77572-1115 <br /> <br />-Subject: TxDoT Traffic Signal Policy Change Resolution <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Malone: <br /> <br />Missouri City requests that your city support the attached resolution requesting the Texas <br />Department of Transportation (TxDoT) to change its policy regarding the size of incorporated <br />cities within which it is responsible for installing, maintaining, and operating traffic signals. The <br />policy currently sets the population size of cities that TxDoT is responsible for at less than <br />50,000 (latest federal census). The proposal is that the population level be changed to those <br />cities with a population less than 100,000. <br />The proposal is a win-win situation. Such a change would be beneficial for cities that <br />currently have populations between 50,000 and 99,999 since it would transfer maintenance <br />responsibility back to the state, saving them money in the process. Cities with a population less <br />than 50,000 will be able to better plan for take over of such a responsibility if and when they <br />reach the new population level. From Missouri City's perspective it makes sense that TxDoT <br />maintain traffic signals on roadways and facilities which are owned and operated by TxDoT. <br />Missouri City appreciates your support. Please call if you have any questions. <br /> <br />~~\~ <br /> <br />Allen Owen <br />Mayor, City of Missouri City _'" <br /> <br />AO:pwb <br /> <br />Attachments: Resolution <br /> <br />k:\pass\page\memos\1aporte <br />
